Hi Lisa -
Here's a cut and paste from a previous post of mine.....
''I have one of these, eventually managed to install RH9 on it. The answer to
the immediate problem is
linux nomce ide=nodma pci=off
at the install prompt after the CD boots.
See these helpful guides in the wilderness....

You can get it all working, even 3D and xv in the end (although I seem to
recall having to compile XFree86 from CVS for those).''
I bet Fedora does much better on that machine than RH9 did, but you still need
the first trick to even get it installed.
